Don't skip meals!
The ever so popular "Skipping meals as a way of losing weight" is just another form of the Starvation diets and never the answer to permanant weight loss. Most times, you'll just fast until you can't stop yourself from eating, and then binge on foods that make you gain weight.
Skipping meals can also cause your body to crave foods. These cravings are simply a cry for help from a body that believes that it may starve at any moment.
Going without food for extended periods of time can slow your metabolism so that your weight balloons back up once you begin eating regular sized meals, again.
There are easier and more effective ways to cut calories.
Try not to skip meals. Instead aim for 4-6 smaller healthier meals daily that combine a good combination of vegetables and protein.
For instance, you might start the day with an egg omelet (protein) and two pieces of fruit. Or, bowl of high fiber cereal with handful of berries or banana and low fat milk.
Ten am: Yogurt with added berries.
Lunch: Turkey or broiled chicken sandwich on whole wheat bread or pita, or tortilla and added sliced tomato and light dressing.
Four pm: Handful of nuts (your choice) or fruit salad with no dressing.
Dinner: Healthy salad and broiled fish or chicken breast (3-4 oz, cooked)
This multi meal approach will help to keep your blood sugar stable so that you don't crave donuts, pizza and other carb rich foods.
Make it your goal to eat a small nutritious, balanced meal every two to three hours, with a fruit snack in between. . Not only will it help balance out your blood sugar level, you'll find that you have more energy and are less sluggish than after those mammoth catch all "supper type meals".
Plus, you'll feel more in control of what goes into your mouth! |
